Brentford new boy Moses Ademola has targeted landing a first-team slot in his first season as a professional after agreeing a dream move to Griffin Park.

The 18-year-old former Croydon Athletic youngster has agreed terms with the League Two outfit and is expected to sign a two-year deal this week.

Bermondsey-based Ademola bagged 19 goals for the Rams in Ryman League Division One South last season, and will not be boss Andy Scott's only foray into the non-league ranks this summer.

The BTEC sports business student, a finalist in Sky Television's Football Icon, has been training full-time with Brentford for the past three weeks.

And Ademola, who had a trial at Charlton Athletic earlier this season, admits he did not need long to think about stepping up to the professional ranks with the Bees.

"There were other teams interested but no one put in an offer for me. Agreeing to sign for Brentford was an easy decision," he added.

"I have been on trial at quite a few clubs.

"It is about time someone signed me up. I have wanted this for so long - it is a dream come true.

"I have been training full-time with the club when I haven't been at college, so it won't be too much of a shock to the system when pre-season comes. I am just pleased it is sorted now.

"My aim is to break into the first team next season and score goals. I am still young and I have plenty to learn."

Bees striker Nathan Elder, who has impressed since his switch from Brighton & Hove Albion in January, made the move into professional football from Ryman League Premier Division team Billericay Town.

Scott is planning to bring in two or three new faces before the summer break, and is close to agreeing terms with another non-league player, who could be at the club in the next week.

But he warned fans to be patient with Ademola.

"He is very much a work in progress, but he is an exciting talent. He likes to get involved," Scott said.

"It is not going to happen for him straightaway, but his movement is good, he clearly has an eye for goal and he has an uncanny knack of putting defenders on their backsides.

"I think fans will be impressed with the sort of players I am looking to bring in, but they may have to be patient."
